Sobriety marked the beginning, and although my heart acknowledged the necessity to abstain from drugs and alcohol, my mind incessantly pushed for their allure. A relentless internal tug-of-war ensued, forcing me to rely on individualized guidance from those who had successfully navigated similar paths. Navigating the sober living world became a challenge for me since I spent three years of my life going back and forth between treatment centers. It became evident that the facilities I encountered lacked standardized practices and had minimal oversight, particularly during the initial stages. The transition from a detox/rehab facility to a sober living facility felt like an overwhelming leap. After my forth sober living facility, I began to feel clear in the head but was stuck in the redundancies of treatment programming. I leaned into the gym, meditation, 12 step programs and nutritional experimentation to set and achieve micro-goals. The fundamental lessons of discomfort, trust, faith, and execution led me to finally taking agency over my own life and developed the state of confidence that comes with that achievement.
